Abstract (en)

An aircraft engine, comprising a thermal engine, an axial turbine having a turbine inlet (15A), and an exhaust assembly (20) fluidly connecting the thermal engine to the axial turbine. The exhaust assembly (20) includes a housing and a deflector (30) removably mounted within the housing. The deflector (30) has circumferentially distributed vanes. The deflector (30) is a first deflector (30), having a first set of geometric characteristics, that is removable from the housing (40) and replaceable by a second deflector having a second set of geometric characteristics different from the first set of geometric characteristics. The first deflector (30) is one of a first class of deflectors and the second deflector is one of a second class of deflectors, the first and second class of deflectors respectively defining first and second exhaust flow profiles that differ from each other.
